Tax-Fueled Renewables

18 hours ago 
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach

I’ve been wondering how the Europeans can possibly afford to pay for all of the public benefits as well as putting big money into all kinds of renewable schemes. Where are the megabucks for the renewables coming from?

Today I came across an interesting article entitled “The Death Of Europe” written by a Swede. In it he commented that in Sweden, “Average workers pay (a higher percentage of) taxes than you do if you make $400,000 here in the United States.”

I looked at that and said “Really?” That just didn’t seem possible.

So as is my habit, I went and got the information and to my great surprise …

… he’s right!

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
